Merck pushes for painkiller approval

Merck & Co. says it is pushing for U.S. approval of Arcoxia, a drug that could serve as successor to its painkiller Vioxx.

Quoteing: "There are concerns that it might have heart risks similar to those of Vioxx, which was withdrawn from the market in 2004, The New York Times reported."

Leave it up to Merck "We put patients first" to figure another way to market a drug that is as risky as VIOXX.

These guys are flooding the airwaves with commercials that are disgusting considering their history of killing and hurting people who did take their drug VIOXX.

Direct from Merck's website:

"At Merck, our business is discovering, developing and delivering novel medicines and vaccines that can make a difference in people's lives. But our mission also entails something more. As a Company, we seek to maintain high ethical standards and a culture that values honesty, integrity and transparency in all that we do. Company decisions are driven by what is right for patients. And we are committed to our employees, to the environment in which we live and to the communities we serve worldwide."

Ask me how Merck helped me.....in their honesty, integrity, and cover-up.

I'm a MERCK VIOXX VICTIM....

There is an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs! That would be Pharmaceutical grade supplements. Go to USANA HEALTH SCIENCE.COM , I would encourage each to seek out this site investigate their products and the NY stock exchange company for yourself
Tell them that #2681134 sent you to them. I to was a vioxx taker, safely for me I had no impact from the drug that I know of, but when they took it off the market it made me look to alternative medicine to find something to sooth the pain of arthritis in my hands and back after taking Usana’s procosa 11 for about four weeks I was able to do the daily tacks of life with out the pain and stiffness. It however has or will not repair the damage already caused by the affliction but it certnely does bring me a almost pain free day and night no more waking up when I try to move a pillow or blanket. After I found the USANA products for my self I began to distribute them, as they are not sold in stores. But I’m living proof that they work and I want to share it with all those like myself. They will help with all chronic disease that we Baby Boomers are affected by. They will not cure as our drugs do not but they will help many of us control our pain and will also help in the progression of these diseases without the harmful side effects as the prescription drugs do.
For those of you with children and grandchildren get them started youg on the supplements they need and they wont find themself suffering as we do from improper nursurement and the long term damage this causes.

If you have small children or grandchildren I would urge you to get them on these products as the poor nutrition they take in today will leave them with the very same afflection we now suffer from.
